Trends and Determinants of Dietary Diversity in Children Aged 6–59 Months in Ethiopia: Analysis of 2005–2016 Demographic and Health Survey
BACKGROUND: Dietary diversity may be associated with health and optimum growth in children. OBJECTIVES: In this study we analyzed the trends and determinants of minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among Ethiopian children aged 6 to 59 mo. METHODS: Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) data of 3 con...

description | BACKGROUND: Dietary diversity may be associated with health and optimum growth in children. OBJECTIVES: In this study we analyzed the trends and determinants of minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among Ethiopian children aged 6 to 59 mo. METHODS: Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) data of 3 consecutive years (2005, 2011, and 2016) were analyzed. A total of n = 2396 (2005), n = 3385 (2011), and n = 3723 (2016) children aged 6 to 59 mo were included for measurement of trends and identification of the determinants of MDD. The associations between the study factors and MDD were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: The proportion of children who fulfilled the MDD decreased from 2.46% in 2005 to 1.57% in 2011 but sharply increased to 7.82% in 2016. Adjusted regression analysis revealed that exposure of mothers to media, particularly watching television, maternal education, and household wealth were associated with a greater likelihood of mothers providing diversified diets to their children across the 3 y of EDHS data. CONCLUSIONS: A decrease in MDD was observed from the years 2005 to 2011, after which a sharp increase was noted in 2016. In all 3 y of the EDHS, media exposure, maternal education, and household wealth were the consistent factors positively affecting dietary diversity among children aged 6 to 59 mo. Future intervention programs to increase dietary diversity in children should emphasize improving access to media exposure, education, and antenatal care visits. |
